it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive

products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth

and soapy water (3.1.1).

• Once a week, clean thoroughly with products

speciﬁ cally designed for vetroceramic hobs.

We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and

maintaining your vitroceramic hob.

• Stubborn stains can be removed with the

glass scraper (3.1.2).

• If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary

elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as

soon as possible with a scraper while it is still

hot. If this is not done, you may be left with

permanent marks.

Recommendations:

• Avoid knocking receptacles against the glass.

• Aluminium receptacles are not advisable as

they can stain the glass, unless they have a

stainless steel protective base.

• The heat elements should not be operated

without a receptacle.

• The base of the receptacle must be ﬂ at and

dry.

• Make sure that the diameters of the

receptacles are larger than or the same as

the element to be used and place them in the

centre of the heat source.

• Try not to move the receptacles as this can

scratch the glass.

• Only use the appliance for cooking food. Do

not use the hob as a worktop.

• Do not apply cold water directly onto the hob

when it is hot.

Caution: Intermittent operation of the cooking

zones is not a fault. They operate with longer

or shorter on and off periods depending on the

desired power.

Safety

The hob has been designed with protection of

the environment in mind.

Be environmentally aware. Use the adequate

power for each cooking operation and select the

receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are

going to prepare. The heat transmission is best

when the base of the receptacle and the diameter

of the cooking zone are the same size.

When you have ﬁ nished cooking, if you like you

can leave the receptacle where it is to make use

of the residual heat accumulated. This will save

energy.

Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the

heat lost through steam.

Electrical and electronic appliance waste

management.

Do not dispose of appliances by mixing them with

general domestic waste.

Take your hob to a special collection centre.

The recycling of domestic appliances avoids

negative consequences to our health, the

environment and enables us to save energy and

resources.

For further information, contact your local

authority or the establishment from where you

purchased your hob.

• The power circuit supplying the hob must have

an all-pole circuit breaker with at least 3mm

space between contacts.

• The hob must be installed by an authorised

installer, who shall follow the manufacturer’s

instructions and diagrams.

• The installation must be of the appropriate

size for the maximum power indicated on the

characteristics plate and the power socket with

the regulatory earth.

• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced

by the post-sales service or similarly qualiﬁ ed

personnel for safety purposes.

• The element is equipped with an inner

temperature limiter which turns the element off

in the event of the hob overheating.

• After each use, switch the element off using its

control.

• If the surface of the glass is cracked or broken,

unplug the appliance immediately to avoid the

possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the

hob until the glass has been replaced (4.1.1).

• If anything spills onto the control keys, the hob

will stop and emit a sound (4.1.2).

• If you press a sensor down for too long or there

is an object activating the sensors, the hob will

surfaces can be extremely hot when in use.

Use the locking system to prevent children from

playing with the controls.

• This appliance is not designed for use by

people with disabilities.
